I go Tuesday for my last appt to see the dietician and exercise physiologist, I have done everything on my list for the last 3 months , but I have only lost 3-4 pounds not 10:-( I really hope this doesnt hold me back from submitting to insurance this week!

You need to walk more and longer in the next 3 days, this might let you lose 3 more pounds. Mow the lawn, pull weeds in the yard, paint a fence. Watch what you eat. Many Protein Shakes and SF popsicles.

Hii! I believe regardless of weight loss b4 surgery you can still submit to your insurance you've been committed and showing effort! Good luck to you! My last dietician appt is Sept 5th:)

How many days a week do you exercise? My doctor wants at least 30 minutes, 7 days a week. Even before your pre op diet (If you have one); I would do Protein Shakes for Breakfast and dinner and a low fat/cal/carb Protein based lunch. I did this for about a month preop.

I'll tell you my tricks. I lost 12 pounds in 1 month the healthy way. I've actually lost a total of 19 pounds from the beginning of my journey with this lap band approval waiting and all. If you have an iPhone, there is an app called Lose It. U enter in how much weight you want to lose and it gives you a timeline as to when u are going to lose that as well as a set caloric intake to maintain each day. U log in all the food you eat and it gives you the amount of calories u are ingesting. If you do any exercise that day you log it in as well and it reimburses you some calories. It really makes you se how much you are putting in your body. My second trick was downloading another app, Couch to 5K in 8 weeks... I love this app! I have a hard time doing excersize on my own but this app has a voice that tells you when to start running, stop, and start walking. I'm no runner, trust me! But I jog walk and it makes the difference! The more you exercise the longer the pounds stay off. Eating right is also another perk to keeping down the weight. Good luck!
